RE: Just Another Bates Hellcat Project!!
All I got to this weekend were the control surfaces for the Fues. They are fabric covered with Balsa USA's "Pink Tape". I will be primering the tape this week and do the stitching. I had to cut the jaged edges because the Hellcat had straight edges. That took a while! I will be glassing the trim tabs this week as well.
I have a paint question. I was going to use Testors Model Master paints for this project. Can you paint the silver under where you want it to show through, spray over it with the color of the plane, and then scuff the area? What I mean is, will the blue paint have a different shade around the areas that where painted silver? Has anyone used Model Master Paints on their planes? Is it fuel proof? It just seems the colors where right on with what scheme I want to do.
Happy Flyen,
